there is going to be a big debate over one aspect of the health care bill that mitt romney did not handled by consensus which now will argue that what happened is that paying for the mandate is a tax. i think they're going to hear a lot about that. republicans will have come back from 16 trillion dollars in national debt. deficit is $1.40 trillion. we will hear a lot about that. we will see competing philosophies play themselves out with some democrats arguing they want more stimulus and spending. mayor romney arguing to leave it republicans said that. this is the most important election of their lifetime. this is what they were saying. they argued for the country. now the congress is likely to remain unchanged. we'll have to see what any new president would say. they will get an agenda that will largely still be in republican hands and the house and the 60 votes you need in the senate to do anything. maybe we just have four more years of grangridlock. host: mitt romney spending the weekend in the hamptons are raising money for his own election. the fact that florida is so close shows me h

it clearly says there is a debate here. guest: i do believe governor romney has been consistent, but he has been consistent in his inconsistency. it is true if you look at the surveys that asked people if they support or do not support the affordable care act, there is mixed reaction. if we go into depth, they asked if you like the idea of preventing insurers denied coverage because of pre- existing conditions or providing coverage for those under 26. the support is off the charts. the problem is right now people are not clear those things are in the form will care act. as that becomes better known, this will give tremendous support. i think president obama is going to cherish the notion this is called obamacare. as people experience these benefits, they will find it is really helpful. guest: it will not help in the election. they will not experience anything until a year later. host: every sunday, we partner by airing sunday programs beginning with nbc's "meet the press." we have a sneak preview. nancy pelosi on with david
